I love trailing plants for the following visual and practical advantages:

**Elegant drapery adding a touch of sophistication to any space.

**Visual Interest breaking up the monotony of horizontal surfaces

**Space utilization turning walls or unused corners into green focal points.

03/26/2022

Learning continues…this is my first hypertufa pot after 36H. Still need to cure for at least 3-4 weeks then it will be ready. Now moving on to more creation🤗.

Got interested on this because of it rustic look and very unique character. It is cheap and I can make my own design🤩

#monsteradubia. A unique shingling plant whose leaves gets fenestrated as it matures. Need to address the #mealybug. I used a mixture of neem oil, drops of dish soap and water.

How I care for this plant: **Light 🌞. Bright indirect light. It is placed in the east side of our house. ** Watering 💦: At least once a week this season. I prefer to UNDERwater rather than overwater. ** Soil: Have not changed the soil from the nursery but I noticed it’s on a well-draining mixture. **Temperature and Humidity: I don’t cover our back porch unless temp goes down to less than 40F. I guess it helped that it is placed in a corner, directly protected by two walls. I am in Fl which is very humid. Humidity may range from 50-99 %. Plants love it! **Fertilizer: I am using Osmocote smart release plant food. Not sure if this the best but it is the most convenient for me. Happy planting💚

#trailingtuesday I love trailing plants for the following visual and practical advantages: **Elegant drapery adding a touch of sophistication to any space. **Visual Interest breaking up the monotony of horizontal surfaces **Space utilization turning walls or unused corners into green focal points.

Yes, plants have genes just like animals and humans. Genes are responsible for the inheritance of traits and the regulation of various biological processes in plants. Have noticed that variation is more dominant in one side in almost all leaves🤔

Till next Christmas season… 🎄

This showed in my personal FB. I pressumed it was not that cold then when we can still eat dinner outside 🥶

Working on my “annual painting project”. For the past two years, I have been donating art work to a friend’s foundation fund-raising activity. 🤭don’t know what Im doing this time yet 🫣

Cynanchum marnierianum aka deadstick plant@or bundle of sticks. One of my favorite unique plants due to its interesting foliage and flower. This plant's knobby vines turn brown in bright light when exposed to bright light. Keep it dry. Treat like a cactus and you won't go far wrong. I propagated some cuttings last October and now it has bloomed.

What a surprise! Got busy lately with the holiday crafting, parties and family gathering that I didnt have much time to spend time with my plants until this morning. Look what I got. #Cynanchum marnierianum aka dead stick plant is blooming. so as the other succulents- a kind of Kalanchoe and I forgot name of the last one.
